FEELS LIKE MURDER - Hardcore Punk played with a bloody knife from the 80s.

What we have is a
fairly new band filled with veteran musicians. What brought everyone together
for this group? If my memory is correct, this band originally was an offshoot
of the Bloody Von Erichs.
Well our drummer Jake and guitarist Dutch both came from
Bloody Von Erichs. But me and Jake we're in a band Shopping for Death years
back . We got together first to begin a band that also would remind me of being
17. We wanted it to be reminiscent of bad brains, DRI, and yes even some
Dischord in there. Basically what we grew up on and quite frankly wasn't
hearing from many bands of recent. Rounded out the sound with bassist Edwin
Carson who comes from his own hardcore roots in the Phillipines with a gnarly
tone and our newest edition on 2nd guitar Chris LaForge of 30footFall lore and
many others.

With an aggressive
band name, are your lyrics inspired by your love of horror movies?

Yes my lyrics usually do reflect my love for horror movies,
but not in a direct Misfits way. I just seem to write about killing, disease
and shit that intrigues me. It's what a band would be if it was fronted by Ted
Bundy.

You have a really
great sound. I find your music reminiscent to early Dischord releases. Your
show from last Halloween really brought back my memories of being a teenager.
Give us your take on the FLM sound.

Our sound originally like I said was to be an old school
early 80s hardcore feel. But we really don't think about it when writing, it's
just what we're most influenced by, so naturally it comes out in the music. I
mean, you're not gonna hear Stryper in our stuff.

You had a really
cool, raw demo being circulated. Now I cannot find it online. Is it still
available?

That demo was poorly done and not meant to be out there
long, just a teaser. It's not available anymore but believe me, when you hear
our record we've been working on, you'll forget about that demo.

Recording for the record is going great, all the music is
finished. I go in on Feb 18th to do vocals, so it won't be much longer til we
have it out. You can expect the Meatmen mixed with Fugazi mixed with SNFU mixed
with etc etc etc...........it'll be fun!
